The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.

Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be.

Please remember, it is what you are that heals, not what you know.

Nobody can fall so low unless he has a great depth. If such a thing can happen to a man, it challenges his best and highest on the other side; that is to say, this depth corresponds to a potential height, and the blackest darkness to a hidden light.

There are two reasons why man loses contact with the regulating center of his soul. One of them is that some single instinctive drive or emotional image can carry him into a one-sidedness that makes him lose his balance...his one-sidedness and consequent loss of balance are much dreaded by primitives, who call it 'loss of soul.' Another threat...circles around particular complexes

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
